As an entrepreneur seeking to offer opportunities for other people, Daven Michaels gets a great deal of fulfillment from his business.

However he understands that trying to be a one man show can be exhausting.

With less help than ever before, and more work to do, hiring a virtual assistant is a great way to be more efficient and save time and money in your business.

As you are considering hiring a virtual assistant, think about the following:

Basic skills are a given when it comes to hiring a virtual assistant, but it’s important to seek other useful skills as well.

This might include anything from proofreading, typing speed, article writing and social media engagement. When looking for a virtual assistant, consider what hidden talents he or she might have that can prove to be useful for your business.

2. Communication –

It’s also important that your virtual assistant can communicate well. This is especially important if the virtual assistant is dealing with your customers. Customer reviews are a big part of any business and you want to make sure all customer interactions are positive.

Regardless of his or her native language, make sure your virtual assistant can communicate in the main language in which you conduct your business.

Communicating effectively with your virtual assistant will make your life easier and more productive as you work together.

3. Tools – 

A good virtual assistant has the necessary tools to complete each task you require.

If your virtual assistant doesn’t have all the correct tools, but has a clear understanding of how to use them, you might want to think about providing the necessary software, programs, etc. to get the job done.

4. Affiliations – 

It’s important that you know who your potential virtual assistant is affiliated with.

A virtual assistant working with a Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) company, such as 123Employee, is held to higher quality assurance measures than a VA working as a solo online service provider.

As with everything else related to your business, you want to make sure you are getting the most value for every dollar spent.
